Miguel de Cervantes

[daedalus]

Looking for comments on Don Quixote.
Has anyone in here found it to be as enjoyable
a read as ever there was one? I found it to be
loaded with laughs. Yet, it provides some insight
on the class structure in the 1580's (Spain). The
arrogance of royalty is bitterly described by Cervantes,
as is the codes of conduct that once prevailed.

Well, I think Don Quixote is in his mid-life crisis....without a wife and a community to support him. It's somewhat pitiful for him to be driven mad
by reading books on knight chivalry, though the adventures are greatly entertaining.
